Scientists have long puzzled over why all of the planets in Earth’s solar system have slightly slanted orbits around the sun. But a new, Yale-led study suggests this phenomenon may not be so unusual ...

The shocking findings were part of a recent study in which astronomers effectively peered back in time to discover what Jupiter was like in its early years. Jupiter is not only the largest in the ...

Scientists have been trying to find a hypothetical Planet 9 that may exist outside our known solar system based on the unusual orbits of certain dwarf planets. But those orbits might not require a ...
